Company name

Signature Portrait Design

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

We are a boutique portrait studio that caters to clients not willing to settle for department store pictures. We are selling the experience as much as the photography. Our tagline is “Focused on you”. We are looking for a logo that can be used on the web and in print. It will be on everything from our website, business cards, studio stationery, and various advertising outlets. It needs to look good and be recognizable from sizes as small as the corner of a gift print up to a large banner.
